Injured Irfan to miss RSA tour

Mohammad Irfan, the tall and fast Pakistani bowler, was excluded from the squad for the limited-overs trip to South Africa later this month due to an injury. Wahab Riaz, another left-arm quickie, was axed from the 17-member side as well. Riaz went wicketless in the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa.

All-rounder, Bilawal Bhatti and pacer Anwar Ali were additions to the limited-overs squad which was recently given a mauling in the UAE by South Africa.

Anwar had a good campaign for Pakistan during the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka in 2006. He has represented his nation in three T20Is.
